{ Repeat the intro for each verse }
{ You may find it nice to play A---2~\0-- between each verse. I do :) }
He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn't play for the money he wins
He doesn't play for respect
He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of a probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance
I know that the spades are swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
He may play the jack of diamonds
He may lay the queen of spades
He may conceal a king in his hand
While the memory of it fades
I know that the spades are swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
Em Em7 C B7?
That's not the shape The shape of my heart
Now there's a change in key, which goes something like:

Bm7 G F#7 Em ( And now back to the original key )
And if I told you that I loved you
You'd maybe think there's something wrong
I'm not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one
Those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who smile are lost
I know that the spades are swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
Em Em7 C B7? Em
That's not the shape of my heart
Em7 C B7?
That's not the shape The shape of my heart
Repeat the intro, and while the e----12--|--
last Em is still ringing, play: B---12---|--
G--12----|--
PLAY TOO ..
